“By placing a large asteroid into orbit over earth, a high-strength cable can be lowered towards the service of earth from which a super tall tower can be suspended,”

Total nonsense. If gravity and atmospheric forces didn’t snap the cables first, then drag on the parts in the atmosphere would eventually pull the asteroid down into a degraded orbit and re-entry. Goodbye life on planet earth as we know it.

Why not mount some sort of thrust engines on the asteroid to allow control and adjustment the orbit?
